Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Oh. Smells good." She said taking in a deep breath of it. Then she nodded and went for her sister and the kittens. She smiled to see them all, except her sister, cuddled up in the basket. "Food is ready. Come to the table." Yen said softly to her sister. Yanny looked up from her book and smiled. She closed it and set it on the table as she got to her feet. Yen gently picked up the basket to carry the kittens in the kitchen nook while Yanny followed. "Smells yummy." The little girl chimed as she climbed into a chair.

Yen set the basket on the floor between her and where she figured Alex would sit. The nook was nice and warm from where the stove had been on. Yen sat and waited for Alex to sit as well.

Logan went around to every cage and checked the belts and ties that were holding them. He gave each one a tug to make sure before moving to the next one. One of the kittens mewed at him. Logan turned and looked at the little one. He could imagine that they were hungry. "We are almost to your new home. I'll make sure you all get something to eat." He said softly as he felt the turbulence getting heavy on the plane. The younger kits started to cry. Logan knew he couldn't leave them now. He knelt by their cage and held out his hand. They were scared and immediately came over to his stronger aura for protection and comfort.

On the main deck of the plane, many of the kids were wide eyed. Most of them had never flown or were too young to remember. They held each other's hands as the plane shook. "It's alright. It's just the wind making the plane jump. The plane captain will get us down safely." She told them in a reassuring voice.

Yen and Yanny nodded and started to eat once the food was placed before them. They enjoyed the food and Yanny even dipped her sandwich in her soup. Her sister didn't say anything, only shook her head.

Rose inspected the sandwich piece carefully. She watched Theo's expression of excitement once he put the piece in his mouth. She decided to try it. But for some reason she didn't like it. Her brows furrowed as she let the piece slid out her mouth and onto the high chair tray. She gave her mother a look of 'what the heck!' before picking up the pieces and putting them on Koko's tray.

Yen chuckled. "How come you don't like it?" Yen asked knowing Rose could answer. Rose glanced at her before going for the bottle. The soup on the other hand was to her liking. Koko had gone for the bottle first. The different colors and little objects floating around in it caught his attention. It was warm and tasted good. Koko leaned back in his high chair and slightly to the side so he could try and curl up and enjoy his soup. His tail came out and he held the bottle with one hand and his tail as he purred and drank.

Logan petted all the little kittens in the cage before getting up. They cried for him again, but he knew they were landing and he had to keep himself safe as well. Off to the side was a fold down seat with a belt harness. He pulled it down and sat before buckling himself up. "Don't worry. I"m not going anywhere." he said softly to them all.

The plane started to descend, the turbulence was gone and the plane seemed to be making a screaming sound as the wing flaps moved down to try and slow the plane. The nose when up and the back went down as the wheels started to touch the ground. The plane flew in from the direction of the pit and headed towards the house past the lake.

It was bumpy, but soon the plane rolled to a stop. Lily looked out the window and smiled. She kissed Afacan and looked at the children. "We have arrived at your new home. It may take alittle getting used to, but in time I'm sure you will all love it." She said with a huge smiled.

She undid her seatbelt and looked at her mate. She went over to him. "How about I see to the kids and you help Logan. I'm sure he wants to run to Alex, but he has the cats to see to." She said and waited for her permission. She was still getting used to not running off and doing what she wanted....but her statement didn't really sound like a question either. She told her self she would have to work on that.

Koko seemed to feel his father's presence as well and started chirping. Alex Jr. woke up and tried to get to him since he was calling, but the basket sides were too tall for him to climb over. He chirped back.

Yanny and Yen smiled, but Yen soon lost her smile as she realized that meant Dray was back as well, but they could only be friends. Yen went back to eating. "Awesome possum! I hope they have my little sibling with them. I asked them to have one at least and bring them back with them." Yanny said with excitement.

Lily blushed...embarrased she'd basically just told her mate what to do and because she'd forgotten about Yanny's request. She quietly nodded before getting the children up. Dray helped her and brought up the rear as she lead them all out and towards the house.

As they went some of the guards approached. Andrew had followed them out and asked for assistance getting the cages out. The men nodded and he returned to the plane with them to help their Semal.

Logan undid his safety harness and looked up through the opening at Kaeden. "Yeah, that would be great. The little ones looked really freaked out. The quicker we can get them unloaded and fed the better." Logan said as he sent his mother a text.

Logan felt the presence of his mate and wanted to run and see him, but he had to restrain himself so he could finish the task at hand. Uri felt the elated joy of his Rayah long before he felt the presence of his Semal. With Logan back on the grounds, he could have Mrs. Church head down to the kitchen while Aaron went to greet them.

Uri turned to Mrs. Church. "They have returned. I'm sure they are very hungry." She nodded and got up. Her phone beeped and she looked at it and chuckled. "He said he has several hungry mouths to feed." She then gasped and started rushing. "I need to cook alot! He said 20 kids and 10 cats." Uri smiled at her as she rushed from the room and towards the kitchen. As she came down, Aaron was heading outside the front door with Mr. Church.

The four kittens pushed each other out of the way to get to Kaeden's hand. Each one wanted to be petted and get attention. Logan chuckled. "Careful......or you might end up with seven kittens. Lily might have your head."

As the guards helped them get the cages out and head towards the barn. Logan crossed his arms about his chest and thought as he stood next to Kaeden and let the guards finish the work. The barn was large enough to where the horses on one end wouldnt' get too upset with the cats on the other end. "We can let the babies out and maybe the younger ones, but the larger cats need to stay in until they know who's in control here. I don't want them killing anyone thinking they are food. More than likely they will head for the forest. Which is fine. But I want them to know they can came around as long as there is not killing. After I see Alex and the kits and you see your kits, how about you and me and a few of the guards show these new ones around?.....since they know your scent as well as mine." Logan asked giving Kaeden the choice to go with him or spend it with his family.

"But only the smaller kittens are allowed in the house. I don't want them trying to claim Alex. They need to know that Alex is mine." Logan added.

Right on cue, Mrs. Church, Uriah and Alice came out with buckets filled with meat. Aaron, who'd been helping the guards get the cages in, was about to fill Logan in when he saw Mrs. Church. He quickly went to lighten her load. "You're such a doll." She said turning the buckets over and heading back to the house for more.

Logan tilted his head. "And I think I should have more meat ordered. We have alot more mouths to feed." He said with a smile.

Andrew caught Alice's eyes and smiled at her. He'd missed her and wanted to hold her in his arms and kiss her. But he kept on task after giving her a wink. And she was also about to be busy feeding the new cats.

Mrs. Church soon came shuffling back with one more bucket filled with chopped up meat for the younger kittens.

"I don't want to burst your bubble little sister, but it takes time for a person to have a child. You have to carry the child for a few months and then you have them. Mom & Da have only been gone a few days." Yen said softly. Yanny looked at her sister; but she still had a smiled on her face. "I know. But I'm sure they brought back one. I just know it." Yen just smiled instead of argued.

"Mmaa." Rose called as she held out her empty bottle. Seeing her do it, Koko held out his as well. He'd drank all his soup but only ate half his sandwich bites.

Logan chuckled. "Afacan looks more like Lily. You may have to add a few highlights to his hair for him to look like you too." Logan teased trying to lighten his mind.

Aaron came over and talked to the Semal-Ray about the twin brothers that had come and he'd texted him about. He wasn't sure how he would handle the twin brothers that were locked away. He of course would listen to their story, but he'd have to be careful in finding out who was right.....his mate was more mindful of such things; but Logan didn't want them near Alex until he was sure. He'd may have to rely on his own gut feelings......or let them see Alex from a safe distance and see how they reacted....mmmmm.....he thought.

"I may have an idea. But they've waited this long....they can wait a few more hours so I can bang my mate." Logan said with a smile as he nodded to the two men and jogged off to the house.

Aaron wasn't sure what to say as his mouth dropped open at the declaration and he watched his Semal jog off. But he then chuckled and looked at Kaeden. "I guess I would need to have a mate to understand. But it's his rite as a Semal....any time, any place." He said to Kaeden and then added. "I'll help you as well. As Silven I should be present."

Lily wasn't sure where all the kids would go. She didn't want to seperate them if she didn't have to. She looked to see who was in the second guest home on the other side of the pool. It wouldn't work. But the one between the stable and pool might work. She looked at the floor plans and recalled who was where. "Alice will be other there to look after them as well." Dray said looking over his aunts shoulder. "You're right." She turned and smiled at the kids that were standing behind them in eerie silence as they took in their new surrounds. "We will get you all settled in. For now it might be two or three to a room. Some rooms have bunk beds. But it'll work out. And when we get more space, I'll make sure you all get on the list to have your own room if you'd like." Lily said happily as she shifted Afacan on her hip.

The kids looked at each other and shook their heads no as they moved closer together. Lily held up her free hand. "It's alright. If you want to stick together, that is great." she said with a smile to put them at ease.

Suddenly Logan came through the front door, all eyes turning to him as he rushed past and took the steps three at a time. Lily blushed and giggled. "Well, we know where he's going." Lily whispered. Dray smiled, slightly embarrased. "I'll be back. I'll look after the kits until they are finished." He said turning to go. Lily called after him. "If they finished tonight." She teased.

Uri raised a brow as he saw his Semal-Ray coming at such a quick pace. His first thought was someone might be on his tail.....but then he saw the look in his Semals' eyes and Uri smirked. "Welcome back." Uri said. "Good to be home." Logan said flying past his guard and to the closet. He slide down the hidden passage and landed on his feet.

Logan said hello to his children, kissing them all on the forehead and even to his neices before his eyes gave an intense, lusty, come-here look to his mate. Logan itched to have his hands on Alex.

Aaron chuckled and nodded to Kaeden before heading back in to see to the new cats and check on Mrs. Church and the others.

Andrew couldn't help now that Alice was in his arms. He put his arms around her and drew her into a kiss. "I missed you." Andrew said with a smile. "You're really going to have your hands full with all these little ones." He said with a chuckle. "But you'll need to eat at some point. I'll grab us a little snack later this evening and you can I can have a moment or two. How does that sound?"

Logan smiled as his mate came running to him. Logan caught him in his arms and listened to his purring declaration. Logan purred back. "Mine." Logan kissed Alex with devouring passion. Dray slid down a few moments after his father did and he could hear the kissing as he chuckled. He slid past them as his father carried his daddy to the spare bedroom. Dray went to greet his siblings and his cousins. Yen blushed when she saw him. He looked better than when he'd left. But then she looked away. Yanny was happy to see him and hugged him. Dray got the kits down from their chairs and then looked at the little ones curled up in the basket just waking up.

Dray went to Yen and took her hand. She was unsure with to say, but knew the risk if she didn't say something. But she didn't get the chance as Dray stepped in, closing the gap and kissing Yen on the lips. Yanny gasped and then giggled. "You're to be Semal. We can't be together." She whispered. "Daddy says to follow your heart. My heart is set on you." Dray said. "The Rayah said we are still young and we may grow apart." She replied. "I just had to kiss you. We can think it over later." Dray said as the sounds from the bedroom got louder and he rolled his eyes.

Logan ran his fingers through Alex's hair. "It's getting long.....I like it." Logan said in a low sexy growl as he nuzzled his face in his mate's shoulder where it met his neck. He gently kissed up to Alex's ear. "I missed you." Logan whispered as his hand roamed over his mate's backside. Logan took in a deep breath, breathing his mate in before claiming his mouth with his own.

When the kiss broke, they both were out of breath. But Logan wanted more....and his hand moving between them seemed to say that pretty loudly. "I need you....once again. Are you up for it?" He asked not wanting to overtax his mate with his lusty needs.

Dray turned when Violet mewed at them. He chuckled as he picked all the little ones up. "Awe, I was getting to you. I couldn't forget my little girl." He said holding the three of them in his arms as he sat down on the floor. Yen smiled as she watched him. He was so caring and careful with them. She liked that.

Rose padded over and shifted to her human form before she started talking baby talk and telling her brother all he'd missed. Yanny giggled as she looked at Rose and sat down next to her. "She likes to talk when she thinks she has something to talk about. She can go on and on." Dray whispered to Yen, who chuckled.

Andrew smiled after the quick kiss back. He watched Alice go.....well, watched her butt. It had this little extra wiggle to it at times and watching got him all stirred up at times. He couldn't help but smile. But he had to get back to work as well.

Lily saw Alice headed towards them as they all were crossing the lawn and headed to go past the stables. Lily waved and stopped so Alice could catch up. "Hiya Alice." Lily called as she tried to get Afacan's fingers out of her mouth. She figured he saw an opening and stuck them in. The children stopped when Lily did and they looked at Alice as she approached. They were still eerie quiet. "I was taking the kids over to their new rooms. I sure could use a hand if you are free."
